The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody watching your Internet connection from learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked.

The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained.

Procedure to follow

First you need to download Tor Browser Bundle from here

Now you should be having tar,gz file and you need to extract the file using the following command

tar xzvf tor-browser-gnu-linux-i686-2.2.39-3-dev-en-US.tar.gz

cd tor-browser_en-US

To run the Tor Browser Bundle, execute the start-tor-browser script:

./start-tor-browser

This will launch Vidalia and once that connects to Tor, it will launch Firefox. Do not unpack or run TBB as root.
